Chinese Folk Tales are a special tradition of China. Folk tales from centuries ago are still adopted in modern films and animations, which find contemporary twists to excite audiences once again. Not only is it the Journey to West that has been adopted countless times, but there are smaller stories that haven’t been recognized as being a true original Chinese folk tale. In this series, we can learn about the deep roots of Chinese story-telling and folklore.
